If anyone has a few extra flanged socket head screws they can send my way I'd be so grateful. I've got my exb kraton and new typhon that could use them but im truly not ordering any extras due to low funds. Not really asking but ya I'm asking ?
Either way I've got to figure out how to get my 40mm gcrc fan mounted on this k8s heatsink and mount the heatsink on this Spektrum 1250kv motor. I got the pic from Jondilly's posts above so I have an idea on where to cut the heatsink and I can see where I need to grind a few fan finns off.
Any thoughts on how I can mount the fan? I currently have no way to 3D print.

Sorry gave most of mine out to my buddy's I bash with.

I'd have to see which pic you're talking about but maybe @jondilly1974 can help you?

I just squeezed my heatsink on my vise until it fit snug on my motor. I removed the fan off of it first
 
Got some new tools and steering bearings. Can definitely tell the difference. Was fun taking apart to get to the bearings ?

Did a little mod for the rear hinge pin section. Friend of mine added a Notorious front bumper to the rear of couple of his Arrma cars.

I added the front hinge block for more support. Filed down the hole it fit and added a couple 4mm screws incase the hinges want to walk out. Gonna make a separate post about this, see what guys think if it'll be stronger or weaker.

That not only looks good but seems like it will work better that anything else out there. Nice work ?
Thanks! Hopefully my buddy's don't ram me but they're older and can't see well so it tends to happen lol!

I have plans to modify the wheelie bar setup once it arrives?
 
Some updates of my build. 5 runs thru it with the rear diff shimmed open. Mostly speed runs and a few minor bashing runs with 4ft high jumps, nothing crazy. Holding up fine.

Did a couple 4S runs and a few 6S runs and wow! Can't see myself having an 8S system in this rig. I feel 6S is plenty of power for me.

Added a few parts along they way
